adding TrackSeedFinder algorithm into master

Andrea Coccaro requested to merge coccaro/calypso:master into master

First MR for the TrackSeedFinder algorithm

  • algorithm to construct track seeds from the 1st and 2nd station to be used as input for ACTS
  • input: Trk::SpacePoint (this probably will have to evolve)
  • output: a lightweight ad-hoc Tracker::TrackerSeed object, and its implementation is also included in this MR

The algorithm is not final but compiles and should run without problems. It is meant to currently produce seeds without attempting to remove duplicates or fakes. The reason is to start validating its functioning together with ACTS. The overall efficiency is also not large because the hit efficiency is not stellar and there is a requirement of 3-hits per station.

Future versions will address the problem of increasing the efficiency, and reducing fakes. For now, I would be just very happy to see a single full track reconstructed with cosmic data.

Tagging @dcasper, @keli (seems I am unable to also tag Tobias)
